Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! (Japanese: ポケットモンスター Let's Go! ピカチュウ Pocket Monsters: Let's Go! Pikachu) and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! (Japanese: ポケットモンスター Let's Go! イーブイ Pocket Monsters: Let's Go! Eievui) are the third and final paired versions of Generation VII. The games will be released on the Nintendo Switch.
The games were announced worldwide on May 30, 2018, at a Pokémon press conference in Tokyo, Japan.[1][2] The paired versions will be released worldwide on November 16, 2018. All copies of the game are playable in nine languages: Japanese, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
The games are inspired by Pokémon Yellow.
Plot
The games are set in the region of Kanto, with Pikachu available in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Eevee available in Let's Go, Eevee! as a starter Pokémon. The player will encounter Team Rocket, as well an unannounced all-new Pokémon.
Features
- The game focuses on the 151 Pokémon of Generation I and their associated forms, such as Mega Evolutions and Alola Forms.
- Pikachu, like in all core series games since Pokémon X and Y, is voiced by Ikue Ohtani, while Eevee is voiced by Aoi Yūki for the first time.[3] In this game, the female starter Eevee will have a unique heart-shaped pattern around the tip of their tail.
- The Nintendo Switch Joy-Con can be used to catch Pokémon by flicking one's wrist in a throwing motion, similar to the method in Pokémon GO. Wild Pokémon cannot be battled in a traditional sense, but NPC Trainers can be battled as normal.
- In addition to customizing the player’s clothing, the starter Pokémon can also be dressed in different outfits and be given different hair styles.
- A local two-player feature has been added. Two Joy-Con can be used to throw two Poké Balls at once at the Pokémon in order to catch it. Battles against Trainers become two against one, similar to SOS Battles.
- An accessory called the Poké Ball Plus can be used to catch Pokémon in place of a Joy-Con. Like the Pokéwalker, a Pokémon can be taken on the go and be interacted with.
- A unique training system called the Candy Jar will be used for training and increasing the stats of Pokémon by giving them various types of candy.
Returning features
- Gym Leaders, including Brock, Misty, and Lt. Surge return.
- Team Rocket returns, including the trio from anime series, Jessie, James, and Meowth. Unlike in their game debut Pokémon Yellow, Jessie and James will engage the player in a Double Battle instead and appear early in the Viridian City.[4]
- Pokémon that the player has in their party follow them outside their Poké Balls like they did in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
- Mega Evolutions that were introduced in Pokémon X and Y, including Mega Venusaur, Mega Charizard X/Mega Charizard Y, Mega Blastoise, Mega Kangaskhan, and Mega Gyarados as well as their corresponding Mega Stones.
